The Lena Web
|
This site is named in honor of Grandma Z, but is actually a compilation of our entire family tree. Inside you will find information primarily on the Zielinski, Jankowski, Brodzinski, and Lewandowski families, but also many others. Eventually, it will contain many photos of people and places, maps, documents, biographies, anecdotes, and historical essays relating to our family history. From our roots in the Polish heartland, through the emigration experience of coming to the New World, and the eventual settlement in Wisconsin - this is the story of our family.

(This site is in its infancy. Please contact me with any errors, omissions, or additions you'd like to see. I am very interested in any additional information you may have on our family. Also, as this is my first attempt at building a website, if you have difficulty viewing any of the content on this website, please let me know that as well.

A little bit about Lena...
Lena was born in Antigo, Wisconsin on December 11, 1899, the daughter of Mike Jankowski and Rosalia Lewandowski. At the age of 24, she married Anton "Lawrence" Zielinski. They had 6 children, 23 grandchildren, and many more great grandchildren. Lena lived her entire married life at 635 5th Street in Menasha, Wisconsin, where she died in 1992. Lena was a very special person and touched all those who were fortunate enough to know her.
